SAN ANTONIO — Police have arrested a man wanted on a kidnapping charge after his common-law wife accused him of tying her up, torturing her with a stun gun then threatening to kill her and wrap her body in a tarp.

Solis is accused of attacking the woman at her South Side home on Jan. 6, an arrest warrant affidavit states.

She told police Solis used duct tape to cover her mouth and bound her hands and feet with the tape and handcuffs.

“The victim was held captive in her own home, unable to free herself as the defendant threatened to kill her,” a detective wrote in the affidavit.

After he tied her up, Solis used a stun gun to “inflict pain and terrorize her,” the affidavit says. She told police he used the stun gun once on the back of her neck, once on her leg and once on her hand.

Also from the affidavit:

Solis used more restraints, including a leather belt. The woman was still tied up when Solis said he was going to “ready his vehicle.” He had a tarp that he planned to use to wrap her body, as well as the bodies of her two children, whom he would kill when he got them from school, he allegedly told the woman.

Solis walked outside but returned to open the window shades so he could see her, she told police.

As he moved his vehicle the woman was able to free her hands; she got a knife and cut the duct tape from her ankles, the affidavit said.

She still had the leather belt wrapped around her legs as she quickly locked the front door's deadbolt. As she “hopped” to the rear of the residence, the belt loosened enough so she could free herself.

Solis kicked in the front door as the woman escaped out the back door, the affidavit said.

The woman was able to get over the fence between her yard and a neighbor's house. Once she realized Solis wasn't following her anymore, she began to pound on the neighbor's door and scream for help, according to the affidavit. Once inside, she called police.

According to the affidavit, the woman had injuries consistent with what was described.

A warrant was issued that day and police requested the public's help in finding Solis. He was taken into custody around 3:30 a.m. Friday.
